This small distribution is the definition of minimalist, and it fits on one floppy. You get a decent set of drivers for NICs and file systems (including FAT and NTFS). There’s a basic set of common Linux tools, includingddandrshorncfor imaging over net connections and more. The installation (to a floppy) can be done in Windows with an included batch file.The floppy holds a surprising number of programs, and actually formats your 1.44 Mb floppy to 1.722 Mb.
